They're probably just filming the fire and have no idea they're interfering with the operations.

Surprising people would mess with firefighters. I remember seeing a VW beetle someone parked in front of a fire hydrant, and there was a house fire. The firefighters bashed out windows on both sides and ran a firehose through his car. No doubt they could have picked it up and moved it, or called police to have it towed, but this was quicker and hopefully taught him a lesson.

The particular fires are in southern BC along the US/Canada border from Osoyoos over to Rock Creek/Kettle Valley area. We've got a temporary service in place relayed from a neighboring WISP now. It's not a lot, but it's something. Another community north of there is completely in the dark due to the fires to the south... no phone lines, no power, not even cell. Logistically, there's nothing we can do for this community right now either. Reports indicate the power company is setting up a generator. 30 homes were lost in Rock Creek so far, and then there's an effin' idiot flying a drone which has caused the air support for the fire to be grounded yesterday.
